Neil, Nellie, and Luna got into the car.
Neil sat at the front passenger seat while Luna and Nellie got in the back, sitting next to Joshua.
Joshua elegantly leaned against the leather seat with a faint smile. “I suddenly realized that Nellie looks a little like you, too.“
Luna’s body suddenly stiffened, and Nellie’s expressions changed slightly as well.
“All beautiful women look alike.“ Neil, in the passenger seat in front, buckled his seat belt and leaned back elegantly.
“Beautiful people all look alike, but the ugly ones are ugly in their ways.“
Neil’s nonchalant words made Lucas almost laugh out loud.
Luna and Nellie were also relieved.
Joshua, on the other hand, chuckled a little. “That’s true, but…“
Joshua casually swept a glance at Luna. “Nellie still looks like my wife, Luna Gibson.“
Luna recollected herself and smiled at him. “Of course.“
She looked completely different from her past self, after all.
“Nellie, did that boy who gave you the lollipop in the morning look for you again in the afternoon?“
The atmosphere in the car gradually became awkward, so Neil calmly started gossiping.
Nellie shook her head a little. “No. He wants me to be his girlfriend. I didn’t say yes.“
Joshua and Luna furrowed their brows at the same time upon those words.
They seemed to have forgotten their past topic as they lowered their gaze and looked at Nellie in unison.
“A boy pursued you with a lollipop?“
Once the car door was shut, Luna looked at the back of the two entering the kindergarten and sighed a long sigh. “How worrying.“
Joshua raised his eyebrows. “You know, Nellie is my daughter, “ he sneered. “To those that don’t know this, they might think that Nellie is yours instead.“
Luna’s eyes dimmed. Then, she laughed gently. “I’ve taken care of Nellie for so long. We have a bond.“
Then, she turned her head and looked out of the window, saying nothing anymore.
“When we reach the company, I’ll let everyone know that you’re with me.“ Joshua calmly swept her a glance. “I ‘m giving you a chance to steal corporate confidential data, but whether you can do that is up to your own abilities. Of course, you have to put on a good act with me. Perhaps, when all things are done, I might even reveal some information to you.“
Luna inwardly sneered at his words. The Lynch Group’s corporate secrets might be worth millions to him, but to her, it was nothing.
The only thing she missed from him was actually… She thought back about the other night.
Luna silently recomposed her thoughts and forced herself to stop thinking about them.
”Thank you, Mr. Lynch.” She smiled. ”I ‘ll put on a great act.” The car arrived at Lynch Group Tower.
